- Should Lord Gyles Rosby die, according to Falyse, Rosby would come to Stokeworth, since Lady Tanda was an aunt to Lord Gyles's second wife and is a third cousin herself.
- Cersei enlisted the help of Falyse and her husband Ser Balman in eliminating Bronn. However the plan went awry and Bronn killed Ser Balman instead. He ordered Falyse to leave the castle, which she did and fled back to Cersei begging for men to retake Stokeworth from Bronn. Cersei refused her and instead gave her to Qyburn for use in his experiments.
